Kylie tried to calm her. “Lucinda, calm down. Let’s figure out what’s really going on first, okay?”
Lucinda nodded, looking like she might burst into tears. “Okay.”
The three of them headed to the interrogation room. Through the window, they saw Lydia and Connor sitting inside. On the other side of the room, a dozen big guys were crouched on the floor with their hands on their heads. They looked like real trouble. Leila was there too, sobbing and yelling, completely losing it.
“Lydia, are you alright?”
Cameron and Kylie rushed to her, eyes scanning her up and down, visibly worried.
Lydia shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Connor chimed in. “Mr. and Mrs. Norwood, she’s really okay. There’s no need to worry.”
Kylie’s relief was mixed with lingering fear. She turned to Connor. “Connor, how did you know? Did you save Lydia?”
The room got quiet, the awkwardness apparent. Even the guys on the floor looked over. They had never seen anyone like Lydia before. She took on ten men like it was nothing.
Connor cleared his throat, embarrassed. He was about to admit that by the time he got there, Lydia had already handled everything.
But Lydia interrupted. “Mom, Dad, Connor helped me. I couldn’t have dealt with that many people by myself.”
Connor went silent, his face turning red.
“Thank you so much, Connor,” Kylie said.
“Yes, thank you for protecting Lydia,” Cameron added.
Connor looked like he wished he could just disappear.
Suddenly, Leila, still on the floor, jumped up and lunged at Lucinda, her voice shaking with anger. “Lucinda! How dare you show your face here?”

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
